What's opinions on the APC Ranger helmet? Why do people prefer the Fox+Cat over it?

The Fox+cat has 5 more hp and better armor. I personally use the APC Ranger for my lighter build because it looks cool.

I had the same problem for a while until I changed my settings around. Don't set any of your textures above high and disable DirectX11. That should clean up a good bit of the crashing issues.

Yeah there has been a persistent video memory leak from day 1. The only common thread for me when it happened was with HRV. Until it started happening at random in Onslaught. Almost every game of OS I play has at least one random person leaving, probably due to this bug. I have no idea how Zombie hasn't fixed it yet.

Alright, I figured as much. Good to know it's not just on my end I guess.

How do you get voice packs, by the way? The onslaught gold pack did not include any, unfortunately.

There used to be another by some ~youtube personality~ that was available for free via an unlimited code, but it suddenly stopped being available in 2013 so the few tradable copies left are moderately valuable. You're not missing much, though, it got annoying pretty fast and it announces all your grenades much louder than the default voice, so personally I ended up switching back to the default.

According to the devs there are 7 others voice packs already recorded, but they said that months ago and God knows what's stopping them from being released.

Yeah, that was all that showed up in my thorough investigation with Google. So there are no other voices yet? That's a shame.

I think the BPFA is my new favorite gun. 50+ damage with under 3 recoil is great. Looks and sounds nice as well.

Technically, no, but since they appear visually slimmer they may as well have different hitboxes.

The effect of overcompensation is stronger than I think Zombie gives credit.

The BPFA is a bit of a trap at the moment. It's very controllable, but it only out-dpses the light pistol and tsmg. You'll get much more milage out of most other guns once you've picked up how to handle their recoil.

It really needs the damagerange of the BFR/AK.

I think you are putting too much weight on the raw stats. By the numbers alone in the hands of equally skilled players the TSMG should never win against the SMG head to head and yet I always do better with the TSMG. There are just too many "others" to think of things in terms of "highest DPS".

Dezztroy, I would still encourage experimentation but if you like the BPFA and it does right by you I say keep using it.

Yeah, I'm still in the phase of just trying any combination of parts I can come up with. Building guns is too fun.

Currently using a BPFA and a CR with 90 damage as my primaries. Shotgun as my only secondary because shotguns are awesome. Been working out great so far. I wish I had more than just 2 loadout slots, I haven't gotten lucky with those mission chance packs yet.

Also decided to try out the LMG and LMG-R. Am I just not using them right, or are they both terrible?

NihilCredo

The LMG-R isn't horrible but if you can tap/burst-fire smartly the HAR will be a lot better, and tap/burst-firing is a critical skill in this game so :v:

The LMG on the other side kicks rear end if you use it right, as it's a very particular style. Make a 73-damage build, equip heavy armour, and don't try fancy moves or anything: always aim, always stand your ground (preferably crouching or behind partial cover), start firing early and hold left-click until everybody is dead. You'll pretty much always win a face-to-face damage race, what you need to do is to make sure you don't get flanked or flushed.

Uhh I have no idea what's fair, so I guess I'll just list some stuff and you can decide?

Arcom Chestguard (Can't buy this with GP yet cause I'm only 32, but can I use it if someone sends it to me?)
Firewall breach (Same deal)
Redsand S14 stock (Out of my parts rental, this is the most expensive)

Or I guess you could just send me a bunch of GP, but again I have no idea what's fair. The BFSMG is permanent, but I just realized the HRV cloak is only 7-day.

Which of those three do you want the most or would help you the most?

E: poo poo, I might only be able to get you items I don't already own which would mean the stock. I'll check when I get home.

Messing around with the loadout stuff, I think if you hover over something a "Purchase" box above it will pop up, and you should be able to send it as a gift. The stock would be great anyway, though, cause then I can stop renting gunparts and save up for bodyparts. Also it's less expensive and I don't want to rip you off.

You can either buy and "send as gift", or you can select "activate later" (or something like that) before you buy the part. You can only "Trade" (as in, attach to a message) things that are Inactive.

I have two perm tsmgs that represent my inability to get orange hardsuit camo. These tsmg receivers are a constant reminder that my in game character is not bright orange and have to go. If you want one just message me in game or post here.

I think I've dropped at least 10k gp on those stupid 200gp packs and have 3 perm tsmgs to show for it.

I'll get you the chest piece since you are under leveled. Need to save up a bit first. You can hold onto that BFSMG. ;)

Unless these are throwaway hacker accounts, and in some cases I could believe it, like the guy who's level 8 with all the level 1 gear and somehow he's 27-3. Sure, he *might* be that good.

In some rare cases, they might be import pros from similar games trying this one for the first time.

For some reason I couldn't figure out how to permanently unlock anything until recently (the interface is pretty overwhelming for new players), so now that I actually have something to work towards, I'm really enjoying this game. I always hated how other quick-kill shooters devolved into bullet hide and seek, and the HRV is the perfect solution to that.

The BFSMG definitely needs some room to breathe, you simply cannot compete in close quarters with somebody laying down the trigger with any sort of automatic weapon. It's too bad you cannot perm the magnum magazines on anything, because at 50 damage you can "oneshot" snipe injured folks from a surprising distance.
